About Us

Plexision develops cellular biomarkers for personalized diagnostics and drug development in infectious diseases, solid organ transplantation, as well as immuno-oncology. These tests are based on patented technology that measures antigen-specific white blood cells.

Testing services for patients, researchers, and drug developers are provided by Plexision’s CLIA-certified, GMP-compliant central laboratory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Plexision’s team consists of highly-trained technologists, cytometrists, clinicians, scientists, bioentrepreneurs, and bioinformaticians.

Plexision currently offers a wide array of lab-developed cell-based diagnostic tests for personalized patient care. The patented technology underlying these testing systems has been used to support custom R&D projects in both the industry and academia.

Plexision’s first product, the FDA-approved PleximmuneTM blood test predicts transplant rejection. PlexCOVID-19, the most recent blood test, measures the risk and severity of COVID-19 infection.

Our technology can be adapted to -

  • Assess disease risk for several immunological disorders.
  • Predict the success of a drug for a specific patient.
  • Develop dosing recommendations for new immunological drugs.
